SITU3040: Fiber Optic Transmitter

The Emcore Small Integrated Transmitter Unit (SITU) is a high performance externally modulated transmitter for applications from 50 MHz to 40 GHz. The SITU3040 is a fully integrated unit that contains both the optics and the control electronics. Only DC input voltages and the RF signal are required for operation.

The units can be used to construct transparent links for antenna remoting. The broad bandwidth is intended for applications such as electronic warfare and Ka band systems. Other applications include delay lines and signal processing systems.

The system operates at a nominal wavelength of 1550 nm. Wavelength selected lasers on the ITU grid are also available for WDM applications.
